It's short, accurate, not loud at all, and no loss in range. Deffinately a "sleeper" barrel

Weaknesses:

Not many color choices, but who cared about that?

Conclusion:

This past saturday I particapated in my high schools paintball tournament, and I played using my X-Short barrel. When people first saw it they laughed, but once they went up against it they were stupified, and I was grinning ear to ear at their faces when each of them found out who eliminated them. After I played the questions started flying, "Where did you get that?", "How much did you pay for it?", "Are you selling it?", "Can I test it out?". If you are looking for a tool for embarassment i would deffinately suggest getting this barrel. I was lucky enough to get this barrel for $25.50 on Ebay, and that price is with shipping.
